FAFSA Online Assistance
The Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) has a computer lab in room 101 Horace Mann, where staff will assist students who would like help completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. The student will need to bring with them the following documents in order to complete the application.
Dependent Students
- Student's 2008 federal tax return (1040/1040A/1040EZ)
- Parent's 2008 federal tax return
- Parent's W-2's for all employers
- Schedules C, D, E and/or F for both parent and student
Independent Students
- Student's and spouse's (if married) 2008 federal tax returns
- W-2's for all employers (student and spouse, if married)
- Schedules C, D, E and/or F
In addition, the student (and a parent, if a dependent student) will need to have a PIN to electronically sign the FAFSA. If you do not yet have a PIN, you (and your parent, if required) can apply for one online.
NOTE: The OSFA will not retain copies of the student's and parent's tax information used during the online application process. However, you may be requested to submit those documents to our office at a later date if your FAFSA is selected for verification by the Department of Education. We would like to request the student keep all information readily available to them until an Award Letter is received.
Please ensure that a valid e-mail address is listed in the GUS system, as we will contact the student via e-mail if he/she needs to submit documents and/or other information as a result of being selected for verification.
